Royal Welsh - Open Dog
1st R Stanleys   Conbhairean Danko of Blanik
3 year old Black and Tan Male, Upper med size,  med strength, excellent type with correct coat, masculine head and dark mask with dark eye giving a calm expression, would have liked to see him use his ears more to complete the picture. Good wither and clean correct topline with long but well moulded croup, having good length of upper arm and good lay of shoulder, well developed and correct depth of chest. Good width of thigh but just a little long in hock but not over done in hind angle, stands very true in front but would like to have seen more strength in rear. Good side gait showing excellent forward reach at a faster pace, unfortunately not so clean behind, although sound would have liked to see a truer action but a small ring and smitten with his handler did not help on the day. Excellent temperament  RBOB

(Mikey) NWA  Stanleys, Blanik Georgios. 5 year old good sized male with pleasing masculine head. correct angles fore and rear, correct topline, moved ok, handled well.

Caernarfon OPEN (7,2): 1st. Stanley’s BLANIK GEORGIOS. A judge can always pick holes in any dog but I strongly believe it is the whole animal that is being judged. So, yes I would have liked a tad more length for perfection, a bit tighter in front feet would have been nice and just a fraction less steep in croup. That said, what a super dog. Great head, so masculine. Superb, depth of chest, ribbed well back and very strong in loin. Superb front assemble. So strong throughout I couldn’t get over the feeling that this dog really could go all day and still be ready for more. BOB and a strong contender in the BIS ring.
